New Life Church

What New Life Church does

New Life Church is a multi-congregation Christian nonprofit headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded in 1984 and operating 1,123 staff across seven congregations serving the Pikes Peak region. Its ministry portfolio includes New Life North (main campus, headquarters at 11025 Voyager Parkway), New Life East, New Life Friday Night, New Life Midtown, Iglesia Nueva Vida (Spanish-language), Chinese Church (with Zoom service option), and Manitou Mission (volunteer-led missional community in Manitou Springs). The church runs a full lifecycle of programs from birth through seniors, including New Life Kids (birth-6th grade), New Life Students (7th-12th grade), New Life Young Adults (ages 18-29), and dedicated ministries for men, women, marriage, military families, and people with disabilities. Its Celebrate Recovery program, a Christ-centered 12-step recovery curriculum, is the most globally scaled asset, present in over 37,000 churches worldwide since 1991.

The church's underlying technology stack is a conventional SaaS bundle rather than a proprietary platform. Operations rely on Pushpay for online giving, BoxCast for livestream, Zoom for the Chinese Church service, and Church Community Builder (CCB) for church management and event registration. Engagement is distributed through a mobile app (iOS and Android), YouTube and Facebook livestream, Spotify sermon podcasts, and a worship music catalog featuring globally sung songs such as 'I Am Free', 'Overcome', and 'Great I Am'. There is no developer-facing API, no described AI/ML capability, and no proprietary technology product.

The revenue model is donation-based, not commercial. Income is generated through recurring and one-time tithes, offerings, and designated giving streams including the Global Project Fund (Central and South America), mission trip support, and local outreach support (Care Portal, Dream Centers, Springs Rescue Mission). Attendance is free; the church is ECFA-accredited for financial accountability. In 2025 the church publicly disclosed operating on a ministry essentials-only budget during an economic downturn, indicating some near-term revenue pressure despite the continued scaling of program surface area.
